We will all have our own list of healthy coping.
What’s yours?
I have been sober curious for a long time now, choosing when to have a drink very carefully and pretty rarely nowadays.
There are more and more studies coming out about the long term negative effects, even in smaller dosages and for me personally it’s less and less appeal in general.
My may focus years ago was to just make sure for myself that I worked hard not to use alcohol to fix anything.
I have my own list of things “I need” when I am overwhelmed, sad, stressed or angry. I do my best to reach for one of my healthy coping strategies that work for me, and save my adult bevies for when I want to enjoy them for what they are and not for what they can do for me.
If you Have been paying attention to the studies, what are your thoughts.

Mommy wine culture is has done so much harm.
Mommy absolutely does not NEED a drink when she is stressed, that's the opposite of what she needs. Drinking alcohol depletes your B vitamins which are crucial for mood stabilization. It depletes magnesium, your CALMING mineral. It depletes sodium and potassium... your adrenals NEED these electrolytes.
Mommy will feel much better if she moves her body and nourishes her body.
I didn't add these because they're not immediate results for calming, but mama needs to balance her blood sugar and mama needs to make sure she is having daily bowel movements. BOTH Of these things can impact mama's mood. If you blood sugar is on a roller coaster, your mood will be too. If you haven't og in days, that might be a factor in your low stress tolerance. Bet me on it. Work on those things and see how much better you feel.
Mommy absolutely does not need a drink, maybe a gummy, but definitely not a drink.
